New linkbuilding: If networks are useless, and I need high volume through a 1-man team, what's the best option?

[eugeneku]

I work for an online retailer, and we have thousands of product pages and our vertical for content is brutal -- half of them are owned by our competitors.

Are there any new linkbuilding strategies that can be done through a 1-man team? I'm not talking about bots or traditional link networks.

Our current strat revolves around the following:

1. Link prospecting through buzzstream tools and singular contacts

2. Finding bloggers/vloggers, sending product and having them send backlinks to our homepage level with their reviews (slow turnaround, low juice).

3. Syndicating our videos through multiple avenues.

4. Being active on social.

We need to gain more authority outside of simple content building. Are there any alternatives to link networks to optimize build outs via a 1-man team?

Many thanks!

I wish I had an easy answer.  There are a bunch of great posts by SEOmoz on Linkbuilding.
